Dewar's Double Double 27 Year 375ml
$134.99
This whisky was featured on Day 18 of our 2025 KWM Still Not An Advent Calendar Tasting Series! You can read more about the whisky here.
The middle child in the Dewar's Double Aged collection, this 27-year-old is maybe the sleeper in the range: its older sibling gets a lot of attention for the higher age statement, and it's younger sibling garners love for price point. The 27-year-old is where you should really be looking for quality/price ratio. This whisky is a banger!
Dewar's has told us that this has "been aged, blended together, aged again, then finished in sherry casks." This time, however, those finishing vessels were ex-Palo Cortado!

St Cosme Chateauneuf du Pape

Located in the heart of the Gigondas appellation, Saint Cosme is an historie estate of a unique kind. Its Gallo-Roman winery, with its fermentation tanks hewn into the rock, has successfully withstood the test of time unscathed. It

It boasts 25 hectares of old vines whose average age is 60 and yields are diminutive. The soils of Saint Cosme are a geological mosaic brought about by the upheaval of the Dentelles de Montmirail. They are located at the point where two geological faults meetand the microclimate is cool and causes late ripening. Balance, freshness and finesse characterise their wines.
Gergenti Frappato Sicily
$29.99
Frappato is Sicily's answer to chillable, easy-drinking red wines. These bottles are loaded with bright acidity and marked by low levels of tannins, with a structure very reminiscent of Pinot Noir, although it's genetically related to Sangiovese.
Gergenti Frappato is made with organically grown grapes, and it embodies the unique charm of Sicily. The grapes are handpicked in early August. After the harvest, the grapes are left to be macerated with their skins for 6 days. Manolactic fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature in stainless steel tanks. Look for juicy red fruits, a little spice, like summer in a bottle.

From their Father Livio, they inherited the passion for the vine, the dedication to work, and the teachings of our grandfather Martino.

Felsina Vin Santo
$83.99
The ancient tradition of Vin Santo is created using a “mother” (the thick substance remaining from previous vintages) from the previous year’s casks to the next. The process has been modernized through careful grape selection, attention to the drying process, and by adding the Sangiovese varietal to characterize Fèlsina’s signature style, as well as by meticulous care in vinification and ageing
After rigorous selection, the clusters are subjected to a natural drying process on mats, until January-February of the following year. They are then de-stemmed and pressed, and the must is transferred to sealed, 100- litre oak casks containing the “mother”. After 7 years in the “vinsantaia” loft area, the wine is bottle- aged for a minimum of 6 months. The flavour profile includes peach, apricot, pineapple and tropical dried fruit aromas. The natural acidity balances the wine so despite the sweetness the wine is never cloying. Great with apple or pumpkin pie.
